Why MYSTERIES? Because that is the genre I read. Why PARADISE? Because that is where I live.
Among other things, this blog, the result of a 2008 New Year's resolution, will act as a record of books that I've read, and random thoughts.

From Obsession and Payback to Secrets and Lies, Deception and Bad
Judgement, these thrilling tales will shock and surprise you with their
cunning. Short Sentence was launched in 2012 by Bloomsbury Publishing,
in association with the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook.

Following a
short story written by one of Bloomsbury’s brilliant crime authors,
competitors were challenged to take up the same theme and write of a
dastardly deed using 1000 words or less.

This is Bloomsbury’s collection
of the winning entries in parallel with the five brilliant authors,
Parker Bilal, Conor Fitzgerald, Anne Zouroudi, Thomas Mogford and James
Runcie.

My Take

This is one of those books that most people could read in an hour or so. 10 engaging short stories, most with a very unexpected twist at the end, just the thing for a coffee in front of the fire.
